Useful Tips on Skiing with Kids
Between the ages of 3 and 15 is the perfect time for kids to fall in love with the mountains and the sport.
Here are some simple tips on ensuring your little ones get
hooked.
Have realistic expectations – kids all learn at different speeds, not all
take to skiing on the first trip ever and not all are fearless
Start them of on the nursery slope having some fun. If it’s their first time ever, let them get used to being on the snow, roll around in it, fall over – allow them to used to it
Put them into ski school, let the instructors take over and go with their guidance on where on the slopes you should take your child.
The very young ones up to about 6 years will spend most of their time sledging and building snowmen will probably not be that keen on skiing maybe just a few times, some will be keener than others. Kids like to copy their parents so if you are having fun skiing they will see this and be more inclined to want to join you on the slopes.
After 6 kids should start getting hooked on skiing, particularly if they have been before and are now starting to attend ski school. Still do be careful about what slopes you take them on.
Older kids about 11 upwards will be hooked and move onto
the red runs comfortably, but beware although they seem confident, they
do not have the experience to deal with changing conditions, which can happen
very quickly.
